Hello, and welcome to my Duel Commander deck. The focus of this build is to fuse control elements with a hard-to-kill beater in Geist of Saint Traft, resulting in a deck that feels less like hard control and more tempo-oriented. This deck values low to the ground interaction, with cards that help provide midgame pressure to either end the game or force an opponent to run themselves out of resources. Once we have a Geist in play, we have a few options to really seal the deal in Armageddon, Cataclysm, Balance and the like. Very few decks can come back from any of these with a Geist on the field. Currently dies to aggro more often than I'd like.
